Hi! This is what I wore to the official opening of Suiteblanco Manila in SM Aura yesterday. It was kind of a "throw stuff together" outfit because I was initially planning to wear this pretty LBD I picked up at Suiteblanco a few days ago but then I realized the other day that the dress code for the event was summer and I didn't really shop for anything with that in mind. That's what I get for not reading my invitations properly.

In the end, I decided to just settle with this white top (also from Suiteblanco) that I intended to use for a different outfit when I first picked it up. Paired it with my new origami shorts from Romwe for a summery white on white ensemble.

In other news, going cray today with all the last minute stuff I have to do before #BU5! Have so much to pack and tag with only a few hours left til the big day. Wish me luck and I hope to see you all there!!! :)

Suiteblanco officially opened its doors earlier today at SM Aura and boy, what a turn out! It felt like everyone was there. Bloggers, celebrities, socialites. I haven't seen that many beautiful people in a single place for quite some time. And they were there for good reason. The clothes and accessories at Suiteblanco are really to die for and with prices ranging from P199-P2000, it is sure to be a hit with the majority as well.

The event was held in front of the store where a stage was set up with DJ Callum playing cool tunes to set the mood for the day. Shortly after cocktails were served, the event festivities began and it was capped of with a fashion show featuring models wearing the latest collections from Suiteblanco...

Love the cuts, colors and prints! For more goodies from their store, stay tuned for my next post where I'll share some photos I took of the pieces that caught my fancy while shopping inside Suiteblanco SM Aura.

Hello on this much welcome rainy morning! Finally, I MISS wearing outerwear so much!

Anyway, a few days ago, I was asked by our baby Arnie how she could style a new vertical stripe skirt she recently purchased from SM Ladies and I thought maybe you guys have the same concerns since stripes is huge this season, so here's my two cents of not-so-expert advice again on what to wear with vertical stripe skirts, pants, and tops!

So first, let's determine what color combination makes up your vertical stripe item of clothing. I am assuming it's black and white but just in case it isn't....here are some points to remember....try to choose a coordinating article of clothing that features the same color of your striped whatever. You can go with prints or colorblock with the same color or wear with a complimenting color (i.e. navy and white stripes with yellow or pink, etc).

Okay? :) Let's move on to black and white shall we? If you own stripes in black and white, you're pretty much home free! Pair with almost anything you own in your closet except maybe boho-inspired cuts and pieces. The key is to look sharp and polished. Black and white looks great with florals, silver, neons, primary colors and obviously, black or white :P Match with button-downs, jumpers/pullovers or cool crew neck tees for an effortless chic vibe.

And here's my take on it...

Received this floral shirt a few days ago from Wardrobe Check and the pretty white bucket bag from Twirlshoppe (ps. the bag's only P600!!! :)) so I decided to marry them together in one look that you can wear for lunch out with the girls or to the office (just maybe wear a skirt that's a tad longer). Hope you like! :)

What influences your decision to buy a pair of shoes? In my case, the design is what always captures my attention first and the rest is secondary.

I learned some new things about shoe shopping during the Dr. Kong press launch in Guevarra's a couple days ago that I'm sure will interest you as well.

First things first are you familiar with Dr. Kong? I've seen the shops in some malls but never really paid mind cause I thought they were seriously devout orthopedic shoes with the same orthopedic look. Turns out, they've been around since 1999 and have managed to marry both style, comfort and health resulting in footwear that doesn't only look great but feels great as well.

dr, kong press launch guevarra's

Shopping at Dr. Kong is unlike any other shoe shopping experience you've had before. They don't just suggest the latest styles for you, they actually have an in-store "testing machine" (sorry, that's the best name I can come up with, not really good with scientific terms but I'm sure there's an apprpriate name for it :P anyway...) which determines which shoe will work best to heal and correct your foot problems. Turns out most of us suffer from being flat footed which result in many other types of symptoms.

Parents like me should also be aware of the different footwear needs of our children during each stage of their lives and Dr. Kong addresses that issue with appropriate shoes for every development stage. There a re thin soled shoes for babies learning how to walk, flexible running shoes for toddlers and a wide variety of other styles, including school shoes, for older kids. Letting them wear the right pair of shoes helps in preventing future problems like knock-knees and flat feet.

Check out the new designs from Dr. Kong that are currently available in their stores:

The shoes are definitely well-made, affordable (around 3k), stylish and ultra-comfortable. I highly suggest women in the corporate world to invest in a black pair of pumps from Dr. Kong to avoid those dreaded varicose veins and bunions.

Aside from footwear, Dr. Kong also carries school bags and backpacks which are scientifically designed to avoid putting pressure on the spine's back plate. Constant pressure on the back plate of our spine can cause our kids to become "hunchbacked" and develop serious back problems in the future. Their bags also come with a waist strap which transfers the load to our pelvic region instead of our shoulders.

And here's some great news for all you of you (most especially the ladies). Dr. Kong also carries magic gel shoe inserts for every style of footwear possible, (including thong sandals!) so you can virtually turn any shoe you have in your closet into a comfotable pair that you can wear all day, everyday! They even have strap guards to fix the issue of those burns we sometimes get from tough leather straps. What's even better is that Dr. Kong's patented gel inserts are hypoallergenic and 100% re-usable and interchangeable. It's made of a special type of gel that you can re-stick over and over to different pairs of shoes. If you feel like it isn't as sticky anymore as the first day you purchsed it, all you have to do is wash it with soap and water and it sticks like a wonder once again! Neato!

Hi!!! Sorry about the lag in personal posts and the sudden influx of infoblogs. A girl's gotta earn her living :P And I am honestly super swamped and drowning in backlog with not as much time to spend on blogging plus I've been contributing to some other sites and it's leaving me quite drained and a little daft between the ears. But it really, really feels good and refreshing to just write once again without having to focus on a particular topic/product.

Soooo, how've you guys been? It feels like I haven't spoken with a good friend in awhile (you). Me? I've been all over the place lately. For some reason, my May sched is packed more than usual plus I'm clamoring to get all my stuff ready for Bloggers United 5. So excited and I hope to see you all there, okay? :)

For a change of pace, I decided to skip some events today and squeeze in some much needed "me time". I can't remember the last time I had my eyebrows threaded! They were getting really bushy and in need of desperate trimming. I won't even mention my mustache :P Anyway, while waiting for my turn, I saw another lady with some sort of gunk in her eyes. Turned out she was getting her lashes permed! I decided to do the same and I love it soooo much! You should try it and it only costs P280 at Let's Face It. Gotta love that place. Thanks for the reco and photos Ana! :)

Oh yea, almost forgot to talk about the outfit. This is what I wore for day 4 of Philippine Fashion Week and the Penshoppe show. Went for something casual since I was just seeing an RTW brand. I just vamped it up a bit with silver sandals and gorgeous statement earrings from SM Accessories so I don't look like a total tomboy with my baseball cap! :P

To celebrate the success of Romwe's Instagram Leggings Giveaway, they decided to create a multitude of new styles and to say thank you, they are holding a flash sale wherein you can shop for ALL their leggings styles for just $19.99!!!

So hurry, grab yourself a pair of Romwe Leggings this flash sale, snap a photo of yourself, join their Instagram contest to win more Romwe freebies!!!
